These parents completed the general information questionnaire, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Affiliate Stigma Scale, and the Simple Coping Style Questionnaire.

Parents' age, monthly family income, duration of care, mindfulness, and coping styles were the influencing factors of parental affiliate stigma. (2) Mindfulness was positively correlated with positive coping style (r = 0.33, <em>p</em> &lt; .01) and negatively correlated with negative coping style, affiliate stigma (r = −0.38, −0.39, <em>p</em> &lt; .01), whereas affiliate stigma was negatively correlated with positive coping style (r = −0.34, <em>p</em> &lt; .01) and positively correlated with negative coping style (r = 0.41, <em>p</em> &lt; .01).

Mindfulness has a direct impact on associated stigma in parents of children with autism and also indirectly predicts associated stigma through the intermediary influence of positive and negative coping styles.
